Know what to expect on your plate
Food preferences matter! Whether you're vegetarian, vegan, or a meat lover, knowing what's available helps you plan better. Here's our honest take on food scenarios you might encounter.
Veg-Friendly
Vegetarian food is easily available and often the cultural norm. Great options for pure vegetarians and vegans. You'll feel right at home!
Veg & Non-Veg
A balanced destination where both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options are widely available. Perfect for groups with mixed preferences.
Non-Veg Dominant

Limited Veg Options
Vegetarian food is available but variety may be restricted to standard dishes. Consider carrying snacks if you're particular about variety.

Traveler's Food Tip
When in doubt, always carry some dry snacks (nuts, protein bars, biscuits) especially for remote or challenging destinations. And remember - trying local food is part of the adventure, but prioritize hygiene and your dietary needs!
